Hi Jaweria,
I am not very familiar with Famila-28 tablets. This is the information I found on it: Famila-28 is a progestin-estrogen combined oral contraceptive used for EC. Note that many combined pill packs have reminder pills with no hormones at the end; only the active pills can be used as emergency contraception. Check your package insert to determine which are the active pills.
You take 4 pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and 4 more pills 12 hours later. Each dose contains 0.6 mg of levonorgestrel and 120 mg of ethinyl estradiol.
You may have taken way too many pills if you are still taking them, please consult with your doctor to see what s/he thinks you should do about the over-consumption of these pills.
Please keep us posted,
Rosa

I'm sorry but I cannot tell you which tablets to buy-- this is left up to your doctor to prescribe.
The 7 brown pills in your package are the inactive pills that are not used as an emergency contraceptive because they will not protect you.
If you don't understand how you should be taking your pills please contact your doctor as soon as you can,
Best,
Rosa
December 12, 2011 - 9:35amHi, I had unprotected sex the very next day my last period (mensis) ended. I took 4 white pills of Famila-28 within 120 hrs & 2 white pills 12 hrs later instead of 4 . Normally, My next period had to start after 22, 23 days of the last period, but it started on the 12th day. I want to ask that, if its ok ? B,cause, its the first time I have used birth control pills (Famila-28), & I m very upset about that. Plz reply me as soon as possible !

If your period started before it was due then this is likely due to taking the Familia-28 pills as contraceptives. Please keep an eye out for your next period, which could arrive 23 days after the 12th or go back to your normal date.
Good Luck,
Rosa
